You are a little light on your wishes. Gauge, weight, barrel length, era of manufacture? The Robin Hollow AAHE is an extremely rare light bird gun, they claim 6 pounds, 5 ounces. As I recall from doing research for an earlier owner, it is an Abercrombie and Fitch gun ordered at 6 1/2 pounds. I can't remember whether it is a #1 frame or a #1 1/2 frame, but it is one unusual and rare gun. If I were in the market for a AAHE in bird gun configuration, this would be the one.

My comments? A lot of money for a restored #2 frame 12 ga. Does he give nay further specs on drop at heel? It looks like a lot from the pics. Who did the restoration work? From the pics the wood looks too glossy.

Drop at heel is stated in the ad, 2 9/16". Ron could tell us whether he is looking for a big gun or a little gun, a long gun or a short gun.

I know the GA Barnett gun, actually owned it for two days. It was at the Fall Southern in 2011 with its owner. Restored by Jim Kelley, Darlington SC.
Nice gun

What makes you think it is a Remington restoration?? We would really like to help you,but you are not giving us any help to do so.We like to recruit new members and the best way is to help them make a good investment in a Parker.

Does the gun have Remington repair codes? Claiming that the refinish on the gun was done at Remington is a bit of a stretch, even if it does have Remington repair codes stamped on it. I am fairly familiar with the gun, from the time it was sold in California to now. Is it #172,800 or is it another gun? They have more than one AAHE and you're not specifying which one it is.

I am aware of the gun but have not actually seen it. Nice gun, under 7lb so pretty light for a 12ga Parker. It has been completely restored but I am not aware of any documentation that it was done by Remington. A claim by a dealer that it was done by Remington has no value unless it can be documented. A Remington repair code on the gun can mean anything. IMHO, that is pretty pricy for that gun.

Do we know which gun we are talking about? If we are talking about the little gun, the PGCA letter, if there is one, will say that the gun was ordered January 13, 1916 by Abercrombie and Fitch at $325.00. I believe I have had a bore micrometer and maybe a wall thickness gauge in these barrels many years ago, but that should be done by any potential buyer before passing judgement on it. It is a pretty nice gun.
